Large-Area Graphene Electrodes: Using CVD to facilitate applications in commercial touchscreens, flexible nanoelectronics, and neural interfaces

Since its successful exfoliation and epitaxial growth in 2004 [1], [2], graphene, a honeycomb sp2 carbon lattice, has attracted interest because of its intrinsic high flexibility, electrical conductivity, and mobility. Among the various approaches to producing graphene, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [3] is one of the most practical methods to scale up graphene film for either research or practical device engineering. This article will illustrate real-life examples of CVD-synthesized large-area graphene deployed in commercialized personal devices, plastic nanoelectronics, and neurotechnology.
